does he take to bottles, also have you got your fella to put him to sleep, is he into a routine, bath, pj, story or singing then bed, i can not really help with stopping breast feeding, becuz i am trying to stop breast feeding, my daughter was feed on demand, finally got her to eat solids, and cut breast feed down to one a day which is the night feed, i am trying to get her off it,_________________

Hi,

Sounds silly but I can't really remember how I got my daughter to stop breastfeeding now as it was such a gradual process. She was 16 months before I stopped completely. Well done for doing it for this long. Totally hear you about wanting your body back. Have you tried the La Leche League GB (see below)...they were a big help to me when I needed advice on breastfeeding when going back to work and on helping my daugher take the bottle which she refused right from the off. You will get there. Good luck!!
